Summary

This study looked at whether photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, a type of light treatment, can help with pain and healing in women who had tears or cuts during vaginal delivery. 183 women were offered PBM in addition to standard care. Researchers compared pain and healing in those who chose PBM versus those who did not. The goal was to see if adding light therapy improves recovery.
